My wife woke me up early morning when she saw this moth on the prayer room door. I was so excited and was even bit scared as I had never seen a bird-sized moth before! Now my problem was how to share with you all exactly the way I saw it, because it's very difficult to portray in photographs. I even took a small video, but still it's not coming! By the way, I'm posting this one as my 900th spotting! Thanks pals.
Thanks Jatishwor for the ID. Will be grateful for a ref. Yes I saw your Fruit Peircing.
Thanks Sergio. In fact I was very excited when I saw this large strange moth!
Thanks Wandering Naturalist for the comment. I thought it's quite rare!
